THE unsuccessful attempt made upon

by some of the journals as war indica-
ton, the feeling being that he will feel
it necessary to devise some safety valve
for the mutinous spirit abroad in Russia.
He has in the past manifested SO stab
born resistance to any concession to the
peoples demands that there is little hope
of his yielding now, and as the only other
alternative he may plunge Europe into war
to save his own life. Any concession Is
secuted, and the public press urge the
extreme views of autocracy, and deride
all modern improvements in administer
ing the government as unworthy of the
consideration of the Gar of all the Rus
sias. The present Gar might ponder the
lesson of his fathers death, who deferred
an act of liberaIity to his people until the
assassin's hand dealt fatal blow.
